Its right next to the Eureka Airport, should be right up your ally Cab smile I have some friends who run the bracket program up there.

Thanks Al for the help on its location thumbs I thought it was further south. I didn't know it was their. I've flown into that airport several times while working for my old job, it was always foggy on landings and take offs whiney
I'm confusing it with another closed track down there with a different name realcrazy

Fontana never even opened this year... I’ll bet it’s gone. At least Famoso is surrounded by good neighbors. Can’t see it going anywhere in the near future.

. the club series, when it did finally get started was well attended. Kungflu did hurt them in the pocket book early on with canceled events.

Californians must not support drag racing


We support racing here well, they said it came down to, they made more money running the road course instead of drag racing, the 2 are connected.

How many drag strips does California have?
I know we have 7 in Michigan for 10 million residents. Ohio has 12 with 12 million residents, Indiana has 9 tracks with 7 million people, just to list tracks in this area, and they sit closed not making a dime half the year because of weather. California has 40 million people, i would expect they should have tons of tracks if people support drag racing

You need to remember that not all California like racing of any sorts, even though the roots of NHRA started here back in the 1940 and 1950s.
Dang the enviormentlists (SP?) down We need to take all of them out into the desert and tie them to the pucker bushes and use them for snake and Coyote bait or take them to the forests and tie them to the trees and use them either bear or cougar bait grin whistling

Blaming environmentalists is a cop out. The fact is that the land is worth more for housing than for racing. Too many people want to live here, unfortunately - and they multiply like rabbits.

I put the blame where it belongs, the environmentalists in SO CA have been involve in every race track, not just drag strips, and private or small community airports closed in SO CA since the late 1960s rant
I haven't been by the old Lion Dragstrip near Long Beach, CA in a lot of years but others I have talk to say it is still there with freight container stack up all over the property is was built on and owned by the port of Long Beach. They, the port commissioners, closed it due to noise complaints rant
Your correct about growth, urban sprawl, causing a lot of those closures due to people trying to move further away from congestion, high density developments, crime and pollution shruggy
Time to close the borders and force all the illegals out to cure some of our problems like these up twocents boogie
